Democratic Constitution vs Republican Constitution. These are philosophical beliefs about the primacy of governments or individual rights. Do not confuse this terminology with the democratic and republican parties. It is not the same thing. In a Democracy, a voting majority has almost unlimited power to make laws. Minorities have few protections from the will of the majority. In a Republic, the people elect representatives to make laws according to the constraints of a constitution.
